Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Newmarket

Newmarket's Main Street heritage district and the older streets around it hold century houses on deep lots, and the subdivisions from the 1970s through the 1990s hold the bulk of the stock. The older houses take additions and whole-home renovations; the subdivision houses take second storeys and rear additions that give a small plan a real kitchen and a fourth bedroom.
